Reality TV star and media personality Tacha Akide has stirred heated reactions online after branding her generation of Nigerians as “the dumbest and most cowardly.” Her comments were directed at the growing Japa trend—where many young Nigerians are leaving the country in search of better opportunities abroad.
In a blunt social media post, the former Big Brother Naija housemate—who herself recently relocated to the UK—questioned the courage and patriotism of Nigerian youth today. She contrasted them with older generations, whom she described as more politically active and willing to fight for change.
Tacha emphasized that her statement was not an attack, but a wake-up call to a generation she believes is too afraid to sacrifice comfort for the sake of national progress.
